Our Project SEARCH interns are off to an exciting start in their second rotation! 🎉 As they continue building new skills and confidence, they’re taking important steps toward independent, competitive employment. They even participated in a CPR class at Middlesex Hospital, adding valuable, real-world training to their growing skillsets. We’re so proud of their hard work and dedication! 💙 To read about their journeys, read the latest edition of the Project SEARCH newsletter: https://bit.ly/JanuaryProjectSEARCHNewsletter

As we come to the close of the year, our hearts are full of gratitude. 💙
Because of you, individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities were supported in building life skills, gaining employment experiences, forming meaningful connections, and living more independent, empowered lives.

Every program, every milestone, every success story this year was made possible by the generosity of our community—families, donors, partners, and friends who believe in inclusion, dignity, and opportunity for all.

As we look ahead to the new year, we invite you to continue that impact. An end-of-year donation helps ensure we can expand programs, strengthen supports, and continue opening doors to meaningful employment, housing, and community engagement.

✨ If you’re able, please consider making a gift before December 31. Together, we can keep building a future where people of all abilities are celebrated and supported.

Thank you for believing in our mission and for being part of the IMPACT family.

Our Story

In 1955, MARC was founded by dedicated parents who envisioned all people with disabilities as integral, celebrated members of the community. What began as their way of connecting and offering support to one another, soon became the foundation of MARC. Through the years, MARC has opened multiple group homes, created business ventures, started a home ownership program, began a recreation and a self-advocacy group, and so much more! Today we are a multi-faceted organization serving hundreds of adults and children with disabilities in employment, community living, and recreation programs.

MARC Community Resources is also an affiliated chapter of The Arc, the largest national volunteer-based organization devoted solely to advocacy on issues pertaining to individuals with I/DD and their families. On the statewide level we are also very active with The Arc CT. MARC is also proud and grateful to be the recipients of a Middlesex United Way grant that supports our Adult Leisure Program and our outreach and advocacy efforts.

Our Mission

Empower people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (I/DD) to make their own life choices and aid in the fulfillment of their dreams - through employment, housing, social, and community involvement and advocacy.
